Frequently asked questions

CMM Retrofit is the modernisation of an existing coordinate measuring machine: replacement of control electronics, motorisation, probes and software, while maintaining the mechanical structure (granite, guides, scales). It is worthwhile when the mechanical structure is still in good condition but the controller is obsolete, the software is no longer supported or the machine has lost accuracy due to electronics. A well-executed retrofit typically costs 30–50% of a new machine and extends the CMM's lifespan by 10 to 15 years, with accuracy equivalent to that of new equipment.
